Key Trends in the Market

Cross border road freight transport involves activities and infrastructure that facilitate the movement of goods across international borders. This transportation method is preferred for the movement of goods due to its cost and time-effective nature.

 

In 2021, the United States was the largest importer of goods in the world, with China, Mexico, Japan, and Canada being its biggest trade partners.

 

  • One of the significant trends aiding the United States cross border road freight transport market growth is the exponential growth of the e-commerce sector, coupled with an increase in international trade. In early 2023, Mexico became the top trading partner of the United States, with bilateral trade totalling $263 billion in the first four months of the year.
  • The US government is promoting e-trucks and encouraging the adoption of alternative fuels amid growing environmental concerns. Additionally, with the rising prices of conventional fuels like petrol and diesel, key players are switching to electric vehicles from traditional ones for cross border road freight to reduce their operating costs.
  • The United States cross border road freight transport market expansion is being fuelled by increasing attempts by logistics companies to streamline cross-border trade through innovative solutions. In November 2023, cargo-partner, a top global provider of logistics services, announced the launch of a road transport solution to facilitate smooth operations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
  • The increasing investments by governments in the expansion of bridges and roads amid rising road congestion are aiding the United States cross border road freight transport market demand. For instance, in November 2023, the US General Services Administration launched a project to expand a bridge and reduce traffic congestion for over 450,000 commercial trucks crossing the US-Mexico border annually.

Market Share by Type

As per the United States cross border road freight transport market analysis, the demand for less than truckload (LTL) is significantly increasing amid the robust growth of the e-commerce sector in the country. Such shipments are more cost-effective than full truckload (FTL) and are ideal for small deliveries. The flexibility and scalability of LTL, coupled with an increasing focus on developing a sustainable supply chain, are further fuelling the segment’s growth.

 

Besides, the expansion of LTL capacities and networks by key players amid the growing focus on enhancing freight flows is aiding the segment’s expansion. For instance, in January 2022, XPO Logistics, Inc. announced the opening of its two LTL terminals in Wisconsin and Arkansas, new fleet management shops at Florida, Ohio, Nevada, and New York terminals, as well as equipment upgrades in Arkansas to drive growth in the North America market.

 

Market Share by End Use

The pharmaceutical sector represents a significant portion of the United States cross border road freight transport market share. Pharmaceuticals are the third largest category of goods exported by the United States. In 2022, the United States exported approximately $80.1 billion worth of pharmaceuticals, while importing more than twice that value.

 

Additionally, almost 57% of pharmaceuticals in the US are imported from India, China, and Mexico. Hence, there is an increasing demand for road freight logistics for time-sensitive medical shipments in the United States.

 

The movement of healthcare and pharmaceutical goods is crucial and highly complex and requires temperature-controlled road transportation solutions.
